Duncan's posting about AT&T mail as a "poor man's anonymous mailbox" misses one crucial fact. The moment you dial an 800 number, you generate a record of your phone number via ANI, which means AT&T gets that information in realtime and can probably correlate it with your phone account and service address and name. If you want anonymity, never ever ever use any service which requires you call in via an 800 number. -gg@well.sf.ca.us
